Growing up, one of my mother's favorite sayings was "always leave wanting more." Whether she was referring to my indulgence in an extra helping of a favorite treat, or spending time with friends, I never appreciated the wisdom in her words until I was much older and realized, she's on to something! You CAN ruin a good thing by taking one bite too many, or overstaying your welcome. It's easy to want to overindulge in things that bring you pleasure, but sometimes, less IS more. Such was the case with our stay at TGL Farms. It was short, but oh so very, very sweet. Krista was the consumate host! She greeted us when we arrived and gave us a quick, but informative tour of the farm. She was always eager to help out by sending us links to activities, restaurants, and shopping; dropped in with breakfast each morning, and welcomed us with delicious chocolate chip cookies and a chilled bottle of champagne 🍾 for our anniversary. The Carriage House was just adorable, outfitted with all things horse and country. The farm was adorned in spectacular fashion replete with fall decor and lighting. Our dog Charley, loved the working dogs, Annie & Oakley, and couldn't wait to play a game of tag every morning with them! My husband and I were in desperate need of respite from the heaviness that had consumed our lives the past few months, and this was just the place to lay back, relax and enjoy each other's company and just live in the moment. There was a bountiful feeling of peace and tranquility emanating throughout the farm as we basked in the delightful Indian summer weather. Departing TGL Farms, though sad our journey was coming to a close, I knew we were leaving better off than we came. I reflected on how, in such a short amount of time, we were able to resurrect the enjoyment we used to find in life's simple pleasures! It was easy to hear my mother's words again, "leave wanting more". And we did just that. We want more of "The Good Life"! Until then, we have our memories. Thanks again, Krista!
